Iron Man Audi R8/ Skyfall Heineken adverts

Lets start with the Skyfall Heineken advert.  This advert is a mini action and adventure movie because it has suspense and a chase scene in it two of the things needed to make an action and adventure movie.  The advert starts with Daniel Craig (James Bond) walking through a snowy train station being followed by two men, probably hitmen, the bond music is playing in the background (one sign of an action and adventure movie).  He then bumps into a man who just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.  The hitmen then think that Bond have given him something so start to chase him.  Action and adventure clue one.  After the man has jumped on to a train next to him the music changes and the atmosphere around him changes as well.  The atmosphere goes from one of a dark and cold atmosphere to one of excitement.  Then walking through the train carriage he realises that the hitmen are stilling following him, but now the arena has changed and the man is now stuck on a train being followed with no were to go, adding another aspect to the advert, suspense (sign two of an action and adventure movie).  Then once he has gone through most of the train, through a gambling room, a secret Russian spy carriage, a freezer carriage and then a bar area he finally bumps back into Bond.  Who gives him two bottles of Heineken then starts running with the hitmen following him.  The advert ends with the bond girl from skyfall giving him a brief case.

Now for the Iron man 3 Audi R8 advert.  This advert starts by making the audience think that they could be watching a trailer for the Iron Man 3 movie because it starts straight away with clips from the movie.  Then it says "there is never a bad day at work" which tells you that it is not a trailer for Iron man 3 but a car advert.  Then it goes to a shot of Robert Downey Jr getting into an Audi R8.  A shot of the car then driving down a highway at fast speed then ends the advert.  The car they used in the advert also made another link to the film by being the same colour as his suit red.  How the advert is a mini action and adventure movie is because it features scenes from an action and adventure film.

film/ TV intro that I think is good

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCVmAXjbj4k Intro to a TV show called Person of Interest.  I chose this one because it is different to other TV shows, where others have opening theme tunes that stay the same for every episode this one has a introduction to the characters and gives an understanding of what the programme is about.  It introduces the two main characters in the show and how they came to meet and what they do that makes the show .
